Another food one

[StepUpOrStepOut]

My dh is going on about food I give our ds (1.5ys). He thinks some of it isn't good enough, example, one day I may give him a cheese sandwich with veg or salad on the side, the next day chicken and rice. I try to keep it balanced and varied but some days a cheese sandwich for lunch I don't think is bad. He has no problem telling me that's not a good lunch. Now, I have 2 dsc and I know one of them has a cheese sandwich every day in the lunchbox and my dh is always moaning about that and their diet. One of the dsc is getting a bit big. Not my problem, that's for them to sort. BUT, what I don't want is him quite happy to have a go at me but not say a word to ex. He says he lives with ds so of course he will say something to me but I think he should have the same view on ALL his kids. Aibu to tell him to stop going on at me and start telling her?

Tell your DH you are happy for him to take over in the preparation of packed lunch for your older child, and while he's at it, he can prepare something and leave it in the fridge for you to give to the younger one at lunchtime too.

This is nothing to do with his ex, its just him being an idiot. Would him being an idiot to both of you be the solution?

Older child lives with their mum.i see them EOW.

Haha he is a massive idiot and has no clue about what I give ds on a daily basis. Think he know it all and I have to listen to him moaning about all the crap food he sees when he's in the ex's house. Don't tell me, tell her!!!

He's bound to have more input with you lo and it's great he wants to. My dh is very pro healthy eating and we all eat really well (this includes the odd cheese sandwich!!) but ss eats nothing but junk! He's so unhealthy.

I think his objections to a cheese sandwich are silly.

But it is normal that he'll have more say on how you bring up your joint DS together than he will over what his ex does in her own time with her DCs.

True, but he needs to stop moaning to me about it. If it bothers him so much tell her! (He won't, he'll just nag me about what I feed ds)

My attitude to this would be "Well, if you're not happy with him having a cheese sandwich then you prepare the alternative."

Babies can be so picky with what they eat anyway so he should be glad if he is happy enough to eat it. I'd understand where he's coming from if it were the case of him having a daily Mcdonalds - but a cheese sandwich with veg or salad on the side - absolutely fine.

Pajama, it really isn't that often either ! Today was egg noodles with stir fry veg,with hardly any olive oil
